Paper jhumka tutorial

Make a tight coil with dark colour in the middle and outer. I have used toothpick to these coils.

Step 3:

Take the tight coil andgently press it from one side and hold it as shown in the picture below.

Step 4:

Now rotate it in the same position and press the edge(dark blue shade) while rotating the coil, you will get the jhumka
easily.

Step 5:

Now coat a layer of glue to it and allow it to dry, you can
connect it directly to the hooks or attach any design to its top. it can be either round, square,etc. I have chosen to fix three teardrops over its top. Now repeat the above process for the other earring and pendant.

For neckwear, take the spring wire and insert the nylon thread/beading wire through it and attach the clasp/screw endpiece to it. Take the pendant and connect to the wire with the help of jump o rings.

Hi,I'm trying my hands on Quilled jewelry...can i know the varnish that you are using on the finished quilled jewelery.I have read a lot about MODPODGE..can we use that as a varnish...or can u suggest the one which you are using..?

hi preetha,you can use any paper varnish / mod podge - allow it dry and coat it again for best results. i used camilin paper varnish earlier and but now i am using clear varnish spray(avl in paintshop) due to the time consuming activity

Shylaa ji! thanks for this tutorial. My query is how to judge as to how many strips of quilling paper needs to be joint to get the exact shape of the required jhumka? Is there any guide available for it? I'll be highly obliged if you guide me on this. Thanks.

no special needle is reqd. This is my homemade quilling tool - just slot a tooth pick in the centre at the tip part and use. you can use a quilling coach - if you are finding difficult to hold the tight coil
